  1. I think we were talking about early signs, but for sure you’re right on that. Flipping off cameras in national signing day was a highlight as well. I’m guessing Herman wins his way out of Florida Atlantic at some point and lands somewhere with more visibility. When that happens, I am going to enjoy watching him embarrass some other program on their dime.
  2. Charles Barkley says he's retiring from TV after 2024-25 Charles Barkley says next season will be his final one on TV. Barkley, part of the highly popular, award-winning "Inside the NBA" studio show, said Friday night that the 2024-25 season will be his last with TNT and that he won't be joining any other network beyond that either. "I ain't going nowhere other than TNT," Barkley, 61, said on NBATV after the Dallas Mavericks' Game 4 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday night. "But I have made the decision that, no matter what happens, next year is going to be my last year on television. And I just want to say thank you to my NBA family. You guys have been great to me. My heart is full with joy and gratitude." The NBA has been negotiating its next media rights deals, which would begin in the 2025-26 season. While the NBA hasn't announced what the deals will look like, Disney/ABC/ESPN, Amazon, NBC and Warner Bros. Discovery have been vying for what's reported to be three available packages of games and affiliated content worth an estimated $76 billion to the league over a decade. If Warner Bros. Discovery is the odd media company out, it would mean the end of games on TNT and no more "Inside the NBA." "I hope the NBA stays with TNT, but for me personally, I wanted you guys to hear it from me ... I wanted to tell my NBATV and TNT family that I'm not going to another network, but I'm going to pass the baton to either Jamal Crawford or Vince Carter or you Steve [Smith]," Barkley said. "But next year, I'm going to just retire after 25 years, and I just wanted to say thank you. And I wanted y'all to hear it from me first." Ahead of the NBA Finals, commissioner Adam Silver called the media rights process "incredibly complex" based on the technology involved (broadcast, cable and streaming), the competing bidders and a timeline stretching into an unpredictable future. Asked about the potential end of the Sports Emmy Award-winning "Inside the NBA," with host Ernie Johnson and former players Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Barkley, if WBD's contract with the league next spring ended, Silver said he sympathized with the situation. "[To] the folks at Turner Sports, I apologize that this has been a prolonged process, because I know they're committed to their jobs," he said. "It's a large part of their identity and their family's identity, and no one likes this uncertainty. I think it's on the league office to bring these negotiations to a head and conclude them as quickly as we can." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40354302/charles-barkley-says-next-season-final-one-tv
  3. If anyone was curious, I did look a little deeper on a few teams since 2021. A&M. in one year they finished 1 game out of last place in conference. In another year they were 10th in conference with a losing record and didn’t get out of the regional. As of now, they have fewer CWS wins over that time. They’ve only made 2 Supers and 3 Regionals. Stanford 3 CWS trips. One of those occurred because we lost a ball in the twilight. They were better than us but not by a ton. They were 11 games under .500 this year. So 1 more CWS appearance. 1 less regional appearance. Only 1 CWS Win. Over another PAC 12 team. Our best team is likely better than their best team. Our worst team is easily better than their worst. Arkansas. By my count, 1 CWS appearance since 2021. Lost in the last two regionals. 0-3 versus Big 12 teams in those two regionals. At home. Lost to TCU by a combined 23 runs in two games in 2023. Lost to a .500 KSU in 2024. Good 2022 run. Very good in the regular season. Lost the Super in 2021. Virginia. 3 CWS. 4 Regionals. 3 Supers. 1 CWS win to date. One of those CWS teams was .500 in conference and 9 games over for the season. The Big 12 was higher in the RPI. Florida. Couldn’t get out of their own regional in 2 years including losing to a Big 12 team. Lost one game 19-1. This year is tbd. Lucky to get in the tourney but still going. Good 2023 run to the championship series. .500 conference record one year, sub .500 another. 2 CWS appearances. 2 supers. 4 regionals. They were 3-1 versus the Big 12 in the 2023 post season. I believe we were 5-1 against those same teams in the regular season.
  4. I've railed against the moving goalposts of our "standard", but honestly, I think our standard needs to be higher heading into the SEC, and Pierce is clearly not the guy to get us there. It's the premier baseball conference, no question. We routinely lose to their (better) teams. We don't have any reason to feel confident strolling in there. Something has to change. Is it possible we've been hamstrung by the Big 12? Eh, maybe. Then again, it's an easier conference to win. For fuck's sake, A&M is clearly better than us now. Our "standard" should be that the University of By God Texas is the best baseball program in the country, on average, decade after decade. That's what history teaches us it is. I see no reason to lower the bar other than we've already done it. Now we have to recover, and that is going to take clear thinking in this new environment. Roster, facilities, coaching. All of it. I think Pierce has done a decent job, and to some degree it's consistent with our history, but in some ways it isn't, and shit's about to get harder. Twisting statistics -- one of my favorite hobbies -- to show he has earned more time is a fool's errand. While there is no home run hire, there are guys who are better than even odds will do better, and that's when you make the change.
  5. Primer on this OV weekend. A long article like this, with Roach, would have been a total snooze fest. These guys - Scruggs in particular - throw in a ton of specifics and make it very much worth reading. A few of the positive notes: Dakorien Moore: Regardless of when the decision comes, Horns247 still expects Moore to end up signing with the Longhorns come December. John Mills: This still appears to be Texas' race to lose entering the weekend. Lance Jackson: Like Rickey Stewart, we're not nervous or cautious of a potential flip as Jackson is locked in with the Longhorns. Smith-Orogbo: I wrote about it in The Stampede on Monday, but don't find it super surprising if my crystal ball prediction ends up getting changed back to being in favor of the Longhorns. Riley Pettijohn: I like the chances of the decision coming down to the in-state rivals of Texas and Texas A&M with the Longhorns winning out. Jonathan Cunningham: Regardless, depending on how things go this weekend, we could be firing up the crystal ball machine sooner or later.

  6. Agree with you on all this. But also I think there is some revisionist history and recency bias for how he's behaving the past few years. From 2018: Also, from the 2018 perspective, we see how unlikely it was thought to be. It was like taking a WILD bet, hitting it, and then being told, well, actually....we are going to void it because....reasons. I mean, it was insane for Musk to agree to this. If he grew the company 90% he got $0. He did the business equivalent of taking the NYJets to win the superbowl at 55 billion to 1, placed himself as the QB, and said I won't take any of this comp plan money unless we win the Superbowl and nobody thinks we can do it. To void it in court and then to vote against it now, it would have been funny, but also purely punitive as a punishment for the personality and person he has increasingly revealed himself to be (or become), IMO. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/teslas-pay-deal-to-keep-elon-musk-all-or-nothing.html
  7. It’s not arrogant when it’s true. We’ve been hated for as long as I’ve been a fan. Nearly every opposing team’s fans that post here on the regular are top notch, bright, interesting people, no doubt and every school has their smart ones, but let’s face it most Texas fans don’t give a shit, Texas wins a lot as an athletic department and we have a top flight university and graduates and our university really doesn’t fit in the SEC academically, it just doesn’t. So hire Vit or not, the hate is coming and it’s only going to increase.
  8. Sherrone Moore: Jim Harbaugh prophesied me becoming head coach at Michigan ZACH BARNETT JUN 11, 2024 Sherrone Moore was in the TSA line at an airport in Houston when he learned he was probably about to become Michigan's new head coach. "It popped up on my phone, 'Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers.' I was like, okay," Moore told Joel Klatt on the most recent edition of Big Noon Conversations. "That second (phone notification sounds). Text messages, calls. Text messages, calls. Our AD, our assistant AD calls, 'Hey, you've got to come back right now.' Recalling the chain of events months later, Moore got his dates mixed up. He recalled getting the job on a Saturday, but the Chargers hired Harbaugh on Wednesday, Jan. 24, and Michigan announced Moore on Friday, Jan. 26. Either way, Michigan's search -- if we can even call it that -- lasted less than 48 hours, but in reality Moore knew he was getting the job long before that. In fact, at some point during Michigan's run to the 2023 national championship, Harbaugh told Moore he would become his replacement. "He said, 'I don't know when, I don't know what's going to happen, no man can tell the future.'" Klatt then joked about Harbaugh giving Moore a Harbaugh-ism, but knowing Jim I'd bet he actually quoted Mark 13:32, when Jesus prepared His followers for the destruction of Earth: “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows." Moore's ascension to the throne of Michigan football was not always outwardly obvious. He had only six seasons of full-time coaching experience when he joined Harbaugh's staff as tight ends coach in 2018. The next three seasons represented a valley in the Harbaugh era: Michigan went 21-11 over the next three seasons, did not win a bowl game, and saw the gap with Ohio State grow to a point where the Buckeyes dropped 62 and 56 points on the Wolverines during their 2018 and '19 games. Things dropped to a point where some believed, had the 2020 edition of The Game not been cancelled due to covid, the Harbaugh era never would've lasted to 2021. Harbaugh instituted a number of changes following Michigan's 2-4, virus-shorted campaign, and the best of them was promoting to co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach in 2021. In 2021-22, Michigan went 25-3 with back-to-back defeats of Ohio State and back-to-back Big Ten championships. At some point during that season, Harbaugh told Moore he was working to officially appoint him his head coach-in-waiting. "He said, 'You're going to be the next head coach at Michigan.' I was like, what? He said, 'I'm going to put it in my contract that if I ever leave, that you're the next head coach at Michigan.'" Moore said that conversation happened "at the beginning of the year." Even still, Moore's status as the next man up was not outwardly obvious. Moore was appointed interim head coach during Harbaugh's 3-game suspension to open the 2023 season, but so was defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, and special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh, and running backs coach Mike Hart. Those four men split game day head coaching duties for the first three games of Michigan's season. But when Harbaugh was suspended again, this time during the stretch run of Michigan's regular season, Moore alone was appointed the acting leader of the program. Moore coached Michigan to a key win at Penn State, guided the team's efforts to its 1,000th all-time win against Maryland, and then earned plaudits for his gutsy play-calling while also serving as acting head coach for the Wolverines' 30-24 win over undefeated Ohio State. As we know, that contract never got done. From Moore's perspective, though, it was a moot point. He didn't need Harbaugh's endorsement or a contractual booster to his claim for the throne. His performance alone -- specifically, that Ohio State game -- was enough. "He trusted me and this offense to do everything possible to help him and this team win," Moore said. "I just worked as hard as I could this year."
  9. I think we’ve seen Ewer’s ceiling. Dude is a gamer but limited. Manning had great upside but telegraphs his throws. Plus, his uncles are toxic and causing Sark to ‘lose the locker room.’ He’s going to be fine as a stopgap starter until Owens can get up to speed. Owens has all the intangibles and should be starting by game 3, but I don’t think he can keep us in the game vs Aggy, who has the deepest QB roster and finest traditions in sports. They are winners and I am pushing for the Surly/Texags Summit, so we can learn from them what it takes to dominate the SEC. Cole Lourd is the answer. I see him starting by game 4 and winning the Heisman. Book it.
  10. The backup quarterback is just one play away from taking the field as the old saying goes. For Steve Sarkisian at Texas, that play has happened in every one of his three seasons as head coach of the Longhorns. Starting quarterback Quinn Ewers missed time in 2022 and 2023 due to injuries serious enough to sideline him for multiple games. In 2022, Hudson Card stepped in and went 2-1 as the starter in the contests Ewers missed. 2023 saw Maalik Murphy step in and win two games in Ewers’ stead. In both instances, Ewers returned to the starting role and posted a record of 9-4 in the games after his returns. Circumstances were different in 2021, Sarkisian’s first year, when Card won the starting quarterback role out of camp but was replaced in the early stages of the season by Casey Thompson. Injury and lack of effectiveness caused Thompson and Card to rotate as starter, but that was a case of Sarkisian being forced to play QB2 in a situation he would preferred not to have done so. Ahead of 2024, Sarkisian is planning for the best-case scenario that Ewers starts every game the Longhorns play in their first season in the Southeastern Conference. But he also made sure to prepare for adversity and ensure that back-up Arch Manning and third-stringer Trey Owens saw extensive reps during the spring should they be needed this season. “I think that’s the reason we played them the way that we did in the spring game,” Sarkisian said at SEC Spring Meetings in Destin. “That’s why before the spring game, I met with Quinn and he knew how that was going to go. I needed Arch to get extensive playing time. I needed Trey Owens to get extensive playing time.” For Manning, that’s in contrast to last year during the spring. Ewers was the starter as he is this year, but Murphy took the lion’s share of the second-string reps. Manning was cheered loudly for his brief appearance in last year’s spring game, and his short opportunities against Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. But those were limited because of his place on the depth chart. With his status as the backup, and with Owens also needing seasoning ahead of potential chances, Sarkisian took a different approach. “I know who Quinn Ewers is,” Sarkisian said. “I needed to get those guys exposed in the spring game.” Manning was 19-for-25 for 355 yards and three touchdowns with one interception occurring on the final play of the game. Owens was 14-for-21 for 228 yards and three touchdowns of his own. Sarkisian would like for those strong outings from Manning and Owens to be precursors for opportunities in non-conference play to stand in for Ewers once the Longhorns have tilted the scoreboard in their favor. Those chances, at least in Manning’s case, would be in preparation for succeeding Ewers in 2025 or stepping in for Texas’ QB1 in 2024 should Ewers find himself yet again on the sidelines due to injury. It’s reps Sarkisian believes his quarterbacks need in order to have a great chance at future success. “Hopefully, we can find some opportunities early in the season where we can get Arch some valuable experience, and even Trey for that matter, just to get them comfortable playing,” Sarkisian said.
  11. Getting there. California and Florida have been shit-shows for awhile. Texas and Colorado are trying to catch up. Fast. See above comment. This has been a problem in Texas. The model for Texans has seemed to be, I’ll let insurance buy me a new roof every 10-15 years. Comp shingle roofs last about 20, maybe 25 years, in our climate. People have gotten conditioned to not having to pay for roofs out of pocket like we do when our AC units wear out. Unfortunately, it’s hard to change learned behavior. Also, all deference to ROFLBOX but the roofing industry is not heavily regulated in Texas. There are LOTS of bad actors. Carriers let that shit go for a long time. Add in the climate change cocktail, vastly increase the cost to buy/repair vehicles and there’s a gigantic shit sandwich sitting on the plate in front of us. That was what I’d call a win. We don’t “win” all that much anymore, unfortunately, hard as we try. Things have simply gotten more expensive and it would be nice if wages would catch up. (I was at Bob’s on Lemmon last night with two close friends and a ranch water was $32. I couldn’t fucking believe it.)
  12. I think age is relevant. I wouldn’t hire someone on the verge of 60 and not overly inclined at 50+. Pierce at the time of his hiring would probably be the oldest you’d want to hire. My points are that you are knocking one guy for actual accomplishments when there’s similar data available for your alternatives. Then picking and choosing when history starts. It has not been discussed here, but it’s a valid question and one people likely have no clue about. But Texas (43) high end talent trails CA (79) and FL (67) and is closer to GA (39) than those two. That was from an article in 2020 from the prior decade about 1st round picks in the draft. I suspect that held since 2020 too. That talent is not going to be drawn to the Big 12. We will acknowledge that in football but ignore it here. I don’t know the answer as to how impactful it is, but that’s one of the most important questions here. How limiting was the Big 12 in getting players here? I’m quite confident in saying LSU wins nothing without Paul Skenes. Hell, LSU got a top talent from the ACC. Why would a guy like Skenes (or White) take less money to play in the Big 12 over the SEC or the ACC? That’s the type of player we should have more access to now. And you were the one introducing facilities and atmosphere.
  13. Mavs overachieved these playoffs. Which isn't a bad thing at all, just reality. They are playing exactly like a 5 seed vs the best team in the NBA by far. Lively/Gafford are useless on offense this series since Boston is shutting down the easy lob dunks. Before this series, so many said "Dallas should control the inside against Boston". Not the case at all. Dallas is content with plodding the ball up the court and allowing Boston to get set on defense. Indiana got swept but they at least challenged Boston every game and had some healthy leads. They pushed tempo. They also were knocking down their shots. Dallas is missing everything. And their FT shooting is embarrassing for an NBA team, much less a Finals team. I said after game 1, there are no adjustments for Dallas to make. Boston is just too deep. Just gave to hit your shots and hope they miss theirs. Well, they got their wish last night. Boston was terrible behind the 3pt arc. Problem was, Dallas was even worse. If Dallas can't win a game last night where Boston was missing so much, I am having a hard time finding a game Dallas can win, much less 4 out of 5. When you are the lesser team as Dallas is this series, you have to hit your 3s to close the talent gap. It isn't happening. Kyrie has been very bad. Guys 3-8 has been atrocious. Recipe for a sweep. Boston is just too deep. There is a reason they are the #1 overall seed and won 64 games. They have so many guys who can score and you have to account for every single guy on the floor. This wasn't the case for Dallas against their West opponents. Maybe OKC but even they don't compare to the depth of Boston. We have seen series in the past turn when the venue changes. The one that comes to mind is 2005 SA/Detroit. SA beat down Detroit in embarrassing fashion games 1 and 2 in SA. They go back to Detroit and Detroit beats down SA two times in a row embarrassingly to tie the series. That was a weird series where most the games were blowouts but it went 7. Role players usually play better at home but Dallas has prided itself on being road warriors these playoffs. So not sure the home court will be a cure. To win this series, Luka/Kyrie need about 70 total and need to find the rest from guys 3-8. But Kyrie isn't doing shit to help and Luka is just running out of gas, especially being as banged up as he is.
  14. I’m not sure what all this nonsense is about “Dallas can still make this a series.” It’s over. Luka needs to go off for about 50-60 ppg for them to even have a chance; the odds of which are not in favor of that happening. Kyrie sucks and is clearly crumbling under the pressure. Dallas’ role players are no match for the Celtics. We are plenty content on letting Luka get his triple double each game and just shutting down the rest of their offense. I think we steal game 3 or 4 on the road and then win game 5 back at TD to hang banner 18.
  15. His entire quote: SEN. GRAHAM: No, it represents him and him alone. If you spent 15 minutes studying Putin and what he wants, he wants to re- recreate the Russian Empire. He's not going to stop in Ukraine. We celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It was a failure. It was the unnecessary war, described by Winston Churchill. We had a dozen chances to stop Hitler. It's not about NATO. It's not about American weapons in Ukraine. It's about a megalomaniac wanting to create the Russian Empire by force of arms. If you don't stop him, there goes Taiwan. So we've been slow as hell of helping Ukraine, but Senator Tuberville's analysis really misses what Putin's all about. He's an outlier, I think, in the Republican Party. I like him personally. But what did Trump do to get the weapons flowing? He created a loan system. They're sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in- in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don't want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China. If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of, that 10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China. This is a very big deal how Ukraine ends. Let's help them win a war we can't afford to lose. Let's find a solution to this war. But they're sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin 10 or $12 trillion for critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous.
  16. I decided to go back and watch the 2022 World Cup Final this weekend for some reason. And I realized something watching two teams at the highest of levels and Argentina celebrating their win: We have an extremely slim chance to win the World Cup in 2026. Those two teams were STACKED. Top quality goalkeeping. Teams who's starting 11 are loaded. And each team featured a player in the discussion for best player in the game today, one of whom can be talked about as the greatest of all time. The US isn't close to either of those teams. We have flashes at times and we have a starting 11 that in places can fight for a spot here and there. But we aren't either of these teams. And to win, we need to be tactically perfect. And to be that - Gregg can't be our coach. It's really not that hard. And there isn't much to really talk about in this regard. You look at Argentina and France and they were tactically setup for what they wanted to do, depending on the personel. Gregg hasn't every put forth a plan that makes me think he undersands anything of the game.
  17. Celtics have a lot more quality depth. This is going to have to be the Luka Show if we want to win the series.
  18. yeah. I watched that thing and was really nervous at 3-2, 2 out in the bottom of the 9th that we were going to set up a winning run with a walk. You could feel a momentum change happening. Then Neely dug down and found a strike. thank God, we got this one, because it was not looking good to start. As to Cags, I’ve given up trying to mind read Sully at this point. I’m not sure who Clemson starts tomorrow and whether Sully thinks we use our best in game two - or put hopes on a mismatch with our best in game three.
  19. I will be the first to admit to being poor at history with my lifelong 5 second attention span. So, I am learning here. How close does this version (2024) of the GOP under Trump loosely mirror the Nazi and Hitler's rise in Germany... In a country where leaders are elected, Hitler joins a relatively small movement in Germany much like Trump and the Tea Party/GQP. The Nazi party publishes a 25-point program to transform Germany. Project 2025 is formed in the event Trump wins in November. Hitler is the Nazi Party much like Trump has overtaken the GOP. 2020 was every bit a failed coup just like the Munich Putsch. Hitler was imprisoned. Trump is seemingly guilty, but loyalists are keeping him from prosecution and imprisonment in multiple courts. After imprisonment, Hitler re-establishes himself in control, much like Trump has done after numerous party losses since 2018 (Senate, Presidency, House). Hitler had the Great Depression to help create fear and anger. Germany's economic situation is far worse than the reality of America. But, Americans definition of destitute is rather unrealistic. We are largely spoiled in American excesses, sometimes even the poorest of us. It's relative. We have seen American corporations go to extreme lengths these last four years to raise consumer prices without the costs of production to justify it. Exploding profits. American capitalism seemingly concentrating wealth for the 1%. Have they charged enough and taken enough wealth to make people feel "poor" and angry? Hitler lost before he ever ascended to power. Trump did lose his last election, though he won previously. When Hitler lost, the Nazi party became the largest party in Germany. Are hard right GOP the largest block of voters, who vote together and all the same, in America? Seemingly they shouldn't be but the rest don't always show up to the polls. Democrats are split with parts of the party seeing Biden and friends as too centralist. Independents are not a large voting block. Fire Decree suspends civil liberties. Trump wants to be "dictator for a day". I am not sure anybody is confident where police forces and the military stands on the topic of Trump and forceful takeover. Hitler purges leadership he deems not loyal, members who are deemed part of establishment or anti-Nazi. Trump talks of retribution and clearing non-GOP loyalists from all branches of US Government. Taking retribution on those who "wronged" him. Hitler energized crowd but never was ultimately the architect. Same for Trump. Several factors exist in both cases: heavy, heavy propaganda were employed by both, political instability (hyper partisanship in America, shutting down the govt leg. by the Republican House the last two years and GOP donors in the first two years), exploiting nationalist sentiments, etc. Is there enough economic hardship for the middle class to flip the switch for Trump (without realizing the consequences)? Or, have the GQP laid enough groundwork (with the spineless Democrats watching on) for overtaking America regardless of outcome? Like Mussolini showed Hitler and the Nazis, take over the country first and then justify it later.
  20. you have to have that one pitcher if you want to win it all. we don't. We have 4 very good pitchers. Mike needs to go get an ace.
  21. We very well might lose the series to Boston, but it certainly isn't going to be because they beat us in the paint. I think the Mavs are going to run with what got them here--meaning they are going to wall off the paint and make Boston win with 3s. I predict we are going to get absolutely blown out in the games we lose and squeak by games we win. Hopefully that's enough to win 4.
  22. I think its weird in this thread that the Dallas Cowboys seem to be the only team that can't, or shouldn't, pay their pro-bowlers their market rate. The consternation over Zeke's contract wasn't that we couldn't afford it but whether running backs were worth that rate still, which it turns out they are not. But many teams have highly paid QB/WR tandums. If they are worth it, you find a way to pay. Why hamstring the QB by letting his best target go, or vice versa? I think if you let one go, you let the other go too and rebuild. Otherwise you're just half-assing it hoping a bunch of rookies or cheap free agents win you a SB.
  23. who? the guy with the health issues? oh the guy from the first episode, David per the thing spoilered below. i think we are at the point they kick Manny out. dude has the most low's in the entire show so far (spoilers below) he won episode 1, and somehow has what has to be some kind of record by being in the bottom 3 on quickfires three episodes in a row and being in the bottom 2 of the elimination challenge two times of the last 3. Michelle choked big time. if she had done even the minimum he would be sent to the showers. personally, i can't believe how well Dan has done - consistently well compared to basically everyone else. doubt he wins considering his ceiling isn't where Dannys is specifically, but love that guy. edit: also, Manny should go home for not making tortillas a couple of episodes ago. how do you do all this stuff and NOT MAKE YOUR OWN TORTILLAS? edit2: oh it just hit me. he didn't bring a tortilla press. what a joke.
  24. We won without Tucker, Meyers batting clean up, starter going 3 innings, Pressly closing keep winning series
  25. So how we feeling going into this thing? KP or not, the fact that they will have 5 shooters on the floor at all times gives me some pause. This isn't like OKC or MIN where you could just not cover a guy like Giddey or Kyle Anderson. I have a feeling there are going to be some real stinkers where Boston just blows us out due to a 3-point variance. I feel pretty confident we're going to win the paint and rebound battle if we can keep our bigs on the floor. Very interesting matchup.
